    Running without a thermostat ok?

    Few months ago replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, etc. Had a 160* thermostat and when cold weather came in, upped it to a 180* to get more heat flowing. She's always run around 180*-185*. As the temps rise, I've noticed she's running hotter as the heat rises. When it was...

    Broke a timing cover bolt

    Putting the timing cover back on after replacing timing chain and, of course, twisted off a bolt. Tried unsuccessfully to get the bolt out so had to drill and put in a helicoil (see circled hole in pic). Drill/tap went all the way through into what, I'm assuming, is a water jacket passageway...

    Crank gear not seated.

    So I put a new timing set on the slant and short cut the timing cover gasket so it leaked. Never enough time to do it right but always enough time to do it over, right? So now I'm pulling the oil pan too and doing them both right. When I got the timing cover off I noticed the chain didn't...

    Pic of oil slinger installed?

    I've read a dozen threads about needing the oil slinger. I replaced my timing chain and don't remember seeing one on it. Now I've got an oil leak and going to pull it again and replace the gasket. After reading through all the threads, I'm a little confused about the orientation of the oil...

    Relocating the coil

    Installed 4 pin HEI module on inner fender and moved coil up on top of inner fender too, about 4 months. Left old Mopar coil and ignition in place, disconnected, just in case the HEI module fries. Already happened once (my fault) and saved my rear. Got new Aurora plug wires and coil wire is...

    Did my car come with 3 point seat belts?

    My belts are in sad shape, only have lap belts, and looking into aftermarket seat belts. Looks like my front have the shoulder bolt up high where the windows join but I can't see anywhere there was ever a pivot for a shoulder belt in the back seat. Did it come with them, were they an option...

    Fits a '74 Dart. Condition not important as long as it's not warped, the flanges are flat and none of the holes have been drilled out. I'll blast it, paint it and put a new seal in. Paypal preferred but not mandatory. Thanks!

    Tail panel refurb

    Is this a decal and is it available anywhere? Mine's faded, scratched and you can't even see the "DODGE" anymore. Anybody refinished or modded theirs? Thanks to all for any input!

    No power to starter relay.

    Gaaaahhhhh! I hate bulkhead connectors. Just got my tyranny rebuilt and drove her home from the shop. Pulled in the driveway to check the fluid and everything was fine. Killed her, went in the house for a cold drink, feeling good about life and my wonderful Dart. Went to start her up and...

    Which torque converter for a /6 with A904

    Daily driver, bone stock, nothing fancy. Which torque converter would you pick? I believe it's a 10-3/4"? What particular specs should I be targeting so I'm sure I'll get the correct one? Thanks for all input and advice!

    Just dumped all my tranny fluid!

    Last October I pulled my engine and transmission and replaced all my seals and gaskets. Tranny went from leaking a quart a week to zero leaks since then. Today I drove to the auto parts store and picked up a quart of oil (didn't quite get all the oil leaks stopped). On the way back I stopped...

    Where's my map light?

    My car originally came with the map light option. I have a toggle switch on my lower left dash that has a bezel with "map light" on it. My question is....where is it and what does it look like? My car is missing a lot of interior pieces so I don't know if it's missing or not. It would help...

    How to remove trim around top of windows?

    I have a '74 Dart "Special Edition" with the deluxe chrome trim package around the top of the doors, under the weatherstripping. Was this on all cars? I have rust issues and the drip rails have been removed. How do you remove this trim? Do you just pry it off, I can't see any screws unless...

    Looking for a Denso alt 90A IR

    I know this has been beat to death and I'll probably get flamed for starting it up again but here goes. I want to install a 90A+, internally regulated alternator, preferably Denso or similar case so I can use my existing /6 bracket. I have searched for 5 hours, here, slantsix.org, allpar...

    What badges?

    The old girl was sadly abused when I got her with no external emblems and painted with a paint brush and roller. This spring I'm going to sand her down and just shoot some "hot rod black" on her just to clean the POs mess up somewhat. She has holes in her fenders and hood where emblems once...

    [FOR SALE] 63 Dart 270 Craigslist Atlanta

    Tempting. About 45 mins from me. $1000! Given the area and people there, $750-$800 would probably get it easy. I already have too much going on or I'd jump on it. Just thought I'd broadcast it for everybody else. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4818678686.html

    How to preserve asphalt.

    First 4 months I had her. Water leaks, oil leaks, tranny leaks and p/s leaks. All fixed now but she definitely marked her territory. It'll take all summer before the grass recovers. :)

    The correct /6 power steering pressure hose!

    Had a leaky pressure hose. PO had cobbled together various fittings to make an incorrect hose work. Before I chose one I searched here, slantsix.org, allpar, and googled for hours trying to make sure I got the right one the first time. Never did get a definitive answer so I took my chances...

    Z-bar bushing source?

    The plastic bushings that go on each end of the Z-bar rod. The retaining ridge on mine has worn down so now the bushing slides out of the bracket and down the rod occasionally. Makes PARK more of a "suggestion" than a "command".#-o Anybody know where I can find any? Thanks to all for any help!

    Do you have to swap K members for /6 to SB?

    Just thinking to myself. If this /6 ever dies (which it probably won't any time soon) do I HAVE to change K members to a small block style or can you drop a small block in and fab/weld motor mounts to the /6 K member?. What are the problems you run in to? I have some nephews that are Mopar...

    Rhythmic pulsing of voltmeter

    Having a weird thing happening recently. I installed a Sunpro voltmeter a couple of months ago and things have been running well. Since I bypassed my original ignition and installed the HEI ignition module setup, she's been getting a good 13.5v at idle and 14.5 volts at rpms higher than 700...

    HEI and OEM ignition interchange-plug gap scenario

    Just finished installing HEI igntion system and left OEM ignition system intact so I can swap back and forth easily in case something goes wrong with the HEI. Noticed immediate difference in the way she runs even with the old plug gap. I'll be installing new cap/rotor, 8mm plug wires and...

    Is the dash cluster PCB mandatory?

    '74 Dart. The reason I'm asking is I've already bypassed the ammeter and have a Sunpro 3 gauge set installed just kinda hanging off of my dash. It occurred to me that the gauges are the same size and the OEM ammeter, water temp and oil/brake gauges. Since the factory gauges are wired in the...

    Pic of heater fan switch?

    '74 Dart, 225 /6, A904, factory AC/heat. My fan switch only functions in low/med speed, I have no high speed. Before I tear this puppy out, anybody got a photo of how the fan switch is mounted to the controls? I can get a new one for under $20 bucks...
